/**
   \class Timer Timer.h "tvmet/util/Timer.h"
   \brief A quick& dirty portable timer, measures elapsed time.

   It is recommended that implementations measure wall clock rather than CPU
   time since the intended use is performance measurement on systems where
   total elapsed time is more important than just process or CPU time.

   The accuracy of timings depends on the accuracy of timing information
   provided by the underlying platform, and this varies from platform to
   platform.
